Isaiah 54:10

God says: "Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, my faithful love for you will not be shaken."

Chapters 40-66 of Isaiah are thought to have been written about the time that Babylon fell to the conquering armies of Cyrus of Persia. The fall of Babylon meant the end of captivity for the leaders taken from Jerusalem to Babylon after the destruction of the capital of Judah in 587 BCE. Isaiah 54 proclaims that the Holy One of Israel will redeem the people of the covenant because the love of God is steadfast.

The God of love is proclaimed in the Old Testament as well as in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The God who is faithful is the Father of the faithful son, Jesus, who through his faith is the Christ, the presence of God's love among us. Faith in Christ is trusting in the faithful love of God.

Grace and peace...Bob
